COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Science Club Craze Fires Deeper-Thinking Students
Moving day is almost over for
President Alexander G. Ruthven
and other high University offi-
cials.
For the past four days a steady
stream of secretaries and moving
men has been shuttling back and
forth between Angell Hall and the
new Administration Building
carrying books and files, off ice
equipment and assorted knick-
knacks.
PROVOST JAMES P. Adams
and Vice-President Marvin L. Nie-
buss are also making the shift to
new offices on the second floor
of the Administration Building.
The new Regents' conference
rooms are ready but the Re-
gents will have to wait until
their March meeting to use the
new facilities.
The office spacesvacated in An-
gell Hall will be used by officials
of the literary college. Some of
these rooms will have to undergo
remodeling before the new occu-
pants move in.
* *
THE OCCUPAT1iN of the Ad-
ministration Building is now com-
plete except for the offices of the
University Broadcasting Service
and Station WUOM. They will not
be ready for use until later in the
espring.
President Ruthven has a four-
room suite in the southwest cor-
ner of the building. His office
and library feature large win-
dows and walnut paneling. The
furnishings follow a modern
style with bright colors of red,
yellow and green combining
with the simple design to pro-
mote a dignified atmosphere.
The Regents' conference room
is also paneled in walnut. Indirect
light streams down from recessed
ceiling panels on a specially de-
fsigned banjo-shaped cherry con-
ference table.

By PHIL DAWSON
The intense modern interest in
expanding scientific knowledge is
powerfully reflected in the many
societies (or cults) that flourish
in universities, carrying on nu-
merous esoteric investigations.
In fact, college campuses are the
most fertile spots for scientific
(and pseudoscientific) activities,
judging by what students read
about them in their newspapers.
NUTRITION research at Har-
vard resulted in the discovery of a
possible way to give the thin man
a new lease on life by injecting
fat into his blood. To do this, the
fat had to be broken into small
particles first to prevent blood-
clots.
The trouble with the scheme is
that it only works on rats-hu-
mans who got the shots only de-
veloped a fever and had to be
hospitalized. Until this problem is
solved by discovery of a satisfac-
tory stabilizer, the method will
prove "a tremendous bonanza for
undernourished rats," the Crim-
son reported.
Also at Harvard, the Society for
Parapsychology was busily work-
ing in psychokinesis, armed with
several sets of dice, thousands of
plant spores and a collection of
neurotic paramecia.
* 1* *
THE IDEA is to find out whe-
ther mere mental concentration
can make physical objects do
things they otherwise wouldn't
have done; the society attemptsI
to think dice into coming up all
sevens, spores into growing faster
and paramecia into moving to left
or right.
The other part of the society's
job is extra-sensory perception,
which they're working on in co-
operation with a group at Duke
University-with little success so'
far.
Meanwhile, at Southern Cali-
fornia an alumnus of the univer-
sity told a Daily Trojan reporter
that a scientific machine for com-
munication with the dead is not
only possible-it's probable.
Maintaining that this is the "fi-
nal problem of human endeavor,"
he said men in a number of top-
flight laboratories are working in-
tensively on it.
Psychic research isn't con-
ducted through dark seances
and ouija boards, he said, but
"involves Wilson cloud cham-
bers, extremely high freq uencies
and voltages, ultra-sensitive re-
cording devices and a thousand
other items of modern science's
paraphernalia."
These devices have nothing in
common with standard brain wave
apparatus like the electroenceph-#
alograph, he pointed out. "Those
who believe that the mind and the
brain are one and the same see no
point in speculation concerning
psychic phenomena; this crudely
materialistic interpretation seems
to me so utterly inadequate that
it may become a bottleneck," he
said.
